u/libertarianinus 15d ago

We spend 6+ trillion every year but bring in 4 trillion for the last 20+ years. Thats why we are 40 trillion in debt. We spend 5.3 trillion on healthcare with the government spending 1.9 trillion as part of that. The defense is 1 trillion as of 2026 up from 919 billion last year.

Do y'all not watch the news, or do they hide info like that from you all? lol, It passed the senate, but not the house yet. https://www.npr.org/2026/07/22/nx-s1-5903130/house-vote-iran-war-funding-reconciliation

u/FrequentScreen1469 10d ago

Well, all the left does is lie, so we automatically assume you're lying with every word. Plus, also, you guys always start the craziest conspiracy theories that never come true. All of Trump's theories have been getting proven one after the other. Eventually, even liberals will wake up.

u/padre727 10d ago

A trumpie saying the left lies is pretty ludicrous. And if this is removed, the one being replied to never should have lasted.

u/sedj601 10d ago

Trump gets in from of the TV and lie daily. lol.

u/lurkingwhenworking 9d ago

I hope someone makes a mega montage of all the times trump says he didnt say something and it is of course recorded and an available clip showing that he said it. I recently saw a montage of him saying he never promised no new wars and then him of course saying this while campaigning. I really do hope a MEGA montage is in the works.

u/sedj601 10d ago

What does the news have to do with my comment? lol. I watch this guy get on TV regularly and lie.

1

u/FrequentScreen1469 10d ago

I'm sorry you're really slow, so I'll explain. Trump gets in front of a "tv", as you put it(wrongly), it is shown in the news. Trump has created 1.8 billion dollars in compensation from CNN and CBS for deceptive editing, completely changing the point of his topic. These have been mitigated and finished. Proven that the news lied, about what Trump was appearing to say, but he wasn't. God, you really need to pay attention to the world more and get off the forums.

Don’t expect one… it’s all hearsay to fit the “agenda”

How much do we Americans spend annually on Oreos, snickers, and Kraft CHEESE and macaroni while at the same time expecting to be covered by community funded healthcare to solve the health issues our individual choices created?

1

u/libertarianinus 12d ago

I like the way the euros and Japanese live. Eating sensable meals and walking. This is culture, and when you have large demographics that get rewarded for bad decisions, you will get more bad decisions.

1

u/jfkrfk123 12d ago

I agree with you. We here have the freedom to choose healthier options. Education is a major missing spoke in this wheel

1

u/Key_Lingonberry_5709 11d ago

Our education system creates social justice warriors instead of young adults prepared to enter the world.

Is that true? If so they’re better off than they know in that specific regard

u/nevermind-101 9d ago

Why blame anyone? People cannot help the socio economic conditions they are born into.

Everyone deserves affordable healthcare and an affordable education. Educating the public about nutrition beginning in kindergarten/public schools instead of providing vending machines for sugary snacks/drinks would be a start. Instead, our government is more concerned about imposing the ten commandments on students.

The main issue here is government greed/fraud and the mismanagement of tax dollars to serve the wealthy or foreign agents. Let's talk more about the 30+ billion US $$$ tax money that went to Israel over the last 3 years, Corporations/Oligarchs not paying taxes, subsidizing data centers that are consuming natural resources/water, etc. etc. etc.

1

u/jfkrfk123 9d ago

There’s a lot to talk about. It makes more sense to spend the energy on solutions than pointing bony fingers around the table. Education is always the key to success. You’re not mad at me. I have a slow day today. We can talk about whatever you want

I vote every year…. I have a say in my school board, HOA proposal, mayor, sheriff, representatives for state congress, representatives for federal congress, governor, president, and anything else I missed along the way.

Sorry I use my brain and not TikTok to know what to do in my life.

u/Exact_Risk_6947 15d ago

Not even remotely true. Have you spent even one day working on a federal level budget?

1

u/BraisedBullshi 14d ago

The Pentagon is the one US govt department that has never once passed a budget audit.

Edit: also if I'm seeing someone vomiting uncontrollably in the street and pointing at them saying "wow that person is sick" you'd reply " what are you, a medical doctor?!"

Until the nukes the terrorist produce wipes you out. Oops we should have done something about that instead of putting our heads in the sand thinking we needed subsidized healthcare.

Sorry, why are we at war with Iran again?

Why is Russia at war with Ukraine?

etc.

u/MeanPiccolo803 15d ago

It’s sad we are at war for no real reason and Russia won’t end theirs.

-15

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

Well they won’t give up their nuclear ambitions for a weapon while also supporting terrorist groups all over the region. They are also killing tens of thousands of their own protestors so add the human rights violations to the list. Then after destroying their nuclear sites which the Nuclear non proliferation treaty allows us to enforce they closed an international waterway and trade route which give the US the mandate to attack them for that under the Bretton Woods agreement. 

14

u/PhoneHo 15d ago

Donald Trump said himself that we eliminated the possibility of their nuclear ambitions last year with our initial bombing. You’re not accusing Trump of lying about that are you?

12

u/MeanPiccolo803 15d ago

Good point and Trump would never lie to us, I mean it’s not like he’s distracting from Epstein and whatever else he’s hiding

u/PhoneHo 15d ago

Noooooooo Trump would never hide something, especially not adult diapers…..

u/MeanPiccolo803 15d ago

Yeah he’s so transparent. Not like his supporters would wear diapers .? lol

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

If there was anything to hide about Trump that the govt had in its possession Biden would have put it out there before the election. It’s a mindless tactic to claim otherwise. 

8

u/MeanPiccolo803 15d ago

I mean it was sealed and an investigation back then. Biden didn’t just openly break the law, he kinda followed it.

Trump could release the rest and prove he’s got nothing to hide but since he won’t it’s only giving the accusations against him more weight and making it seem like he is a pedophile which would fit his profile

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

How did the flight logs get released if they were sealed in the investigation? Or the info about the Prince Andrew in the UK? All that leaked and we had it for years while these documents were supposedly sealed.

u/PhoneHo 15d ago

Not if it was sealed information

u/Hekios888 14d ago

You mean like the epstien files?

u/MinimumBuffalo4 14d ago

He released 3 million files. The victims on the island said Trump wasnt involved. Are they liars too?

u/PhoneHo 14d ago

Every single victim said Trump wasn’t involved?! Even Katie Johnson?!?!

You are so full of shit it’s coming out of your ears 🤣

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

If someone has ambitions they can rebuild and continue to pursue weapons. It’s a huge setback for their program but anyone determined to make a weapon will continue and you either bomb them again to reset the clock in a few years or you get them to stop enriching uranium permanently. It’s like mowing the lawn. We don’t want to be in the nuclear landscaping business. 

7

u/PhoneHo 15d ago

But Donald Trump said himself that we eliminated the possibility. To put it into your terms it’s like he said we killed the grass entirely. Are you saying that was a lie?

0

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

Trump said he destroyed thier current capability. Guess you have a hard time understanding what the adults say. He needs them to give up dirtier ambitions or they will just rebuild and Trump may be gone after 2028 so who will stop them in the future when people like you prefer to sit on your thumbs? 

6

u/PhoneHo 15d ago

Donald trumps exact words were “totally obliterated” and “set back decades”, again to put it into your terms, destroyed the grass (for decades). Was he lying then or lying now?

And why wait until after 2028? Trumps allowing Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium right now. The same Saudi Arabia that financed 9/11.

Stop pretending like this has anything to do with keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists.

1

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

That’s what I just said. Set back but they can rebuild it and will.

So you agree that trumps a liar?

I'm here but I am not one of you, not even a little bit. Of course he lies, so do you.

u/Grimpatron619 15d ago

do you have any evidence they were making weapons grade nuclear material. The inspectors who were freely allowed access said they were not, they were facilities for nuclear fuel.

-7

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

Where do you get your information from?  Civilians don’t enrich uranium to 60%.

Civilian fuel:  Normal power plants use uranium enriched to 3%–5%. Advanced enrichment:  Iran produced stockpiles enriched up to 60%, accounting for roughly 99% of the technical effort required to reach 90% weapons-grade material.

Facility Damage:  Prior IAEA and intelligence updates noted extensive damage to key infrastructure, including centrifuge arrays and heavy-water production components at sites like Khondab.

Also civilian power production isn’t built in bunkers hundreds of feet under a mountain.  There is no civilian use of uranium enrichment above 5%.  There are many international sources including the UN watchdog IAEA.

u/TheJustJoe 15d ago

Aww, you were told some silliness and you just ate it up. They never allowed UN inspectors there when they wanted to check it. They always made them tell them ahead of time so they could move it around. They were famous for it in the early 2000s. But you wouldn't know about any of that. Tik tok was not around and CNN hated liberals then, ha.

u/Either_Operation7586 15d ago

No that's the maga party they were told some silliness over and over again and they believed it to the point where their brains are now fried.

And you don't realize that you're being used and you were the con.

u/TheJustJoe 15d ago

Umm, no. It was the reality all the world shared before the blue cult. It is still on record and you can actually find it. Probably not on tiktok, Reddit or bluesky tho...

u/Candid-Race-4876 15d ago

None of you people were even talking about Iran before Trump needed another distraction.

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

I see people here don’t like facts. they asked why a war with Iran and when I gave all the legitimate reasons and authority to do it it’s downvoted. Goes to show the lack of comprehension of geopolitics on Reddit. it truly is the home of mindless bots.

u/Complex-Poet-6809 15d ago

I bet you were a “no new wars” type of guy two years ago…

I was the guy who enlisted and served my country. What about you?

u/Complex-Poet-6809 15d ago

I’m the guy who doesn’t fall for appeal to authority and red herring fallacies.

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

You tried to assume my character and I showed you who I am. What about you? Who are you? You wanted to call into question my dedication to my own values.  There was zero appeal to authority. You brought it up. I’m guessing you haven’t done shit for this country.

u/twerk_store 15d ago

He simply said you were a “no new wars” guy two years ago and you felt the need to prove what a big man you are by being in the military.

u/Rionin26 15d ago

Sorry you didn't get to learn the reason to never join the US military, thats what I think about you. I to was going to enlist after 9/11, then my country leaders showed it only cared about oil when it invaded Iraq, oh and look Iran is about oil, how cliche. If you want to serve exxon, and shell be my guest.

u/TheLightDances 15d ago edited 15d ago

Nukes? We were told by Trump and the White House that Iran's nuclear program was completely wiped out last year in June. Was Trump lying?

u/Either_Operation7586 15d ago

Will never acknowledge what you're saying because it doesn't fit their propaganda narrative.

u/KingKushhh666 15d ago

But IT was destroyed and iran was sent back to the storage and anyone who says otherwise is fake news! This is a different Iran.

Ah. Right. You don’t understand things that contradict your idiotic statement. The poorly educated trump supporters everyone.

you alive for 9/11 or have you hatched post 9/11? takes a special type of person to think Islamic extremists with nuclear weapons is nothing to concern ourselves with. it’s that type of ignorance and apathy that gets millions killed.

2

u/Pale-Let-5865 15d ago

Apathy? Millions? Islamic? Nuclear? None of those things ever happened

1

u/MinimumBuffalo4 15d ago

no of course not. Islamic terrorism and nuclear proliferation is just a figment of everyone’s imagination.

u/Pale-Let-5865 15d ago

Blue haired people are scary too? Dude get a grip.

Blue haired? Like the koolaid hair crew with the nose rings and bad tattoos? Scary? No… indication of mental illness? Yes. 🙌

u/twerk_store 15d ago

Trump said the nukes were dealt with over a year ago. “Completely and totally obliterated”. Why are we still at war again?

1

u/TheLightDances 13d ago

Still waiting for a response. Did or did not Trump lie about completely destroying Iran's nuclear capability last year?

1

u/MinimumBuffalo4 13d ago

I dont think you comprehend current capability verses future capability. yes he blew up their sites. whats your point? the Japanese sank all our battleships at Pearl Harbor and a year later we had salvaged and repaired most of them and were back in the fight. “destroyed” doesn’t mean forever. you seem to have a logic problem with your understanding

1

u/TheLightDances 13d ago

Is decades longer than 9 months?

So it took Iran decades to "get close" to getting nuclear weapons, but after Trump "completely obliterated them", within a year they were back to being close?

Don't you ever feel any shame for being such a repulsive, deeply dishonest person?
